Figure A
The approved ISO symbol for fire suppression is shown in Figure A. This
symbol is printed on the manual activation switch and on the diagnostic
telltale on the instrument cluster.
The system automatically performs a diagnostic check self check and
momentarily lights the cluster lamp when the key is turned on. If the
diagnostic lamp stays on refer to the appropriate sections of the Ford
service manual for further diagnostic and service procedures.
The system is active any time the key or engine is turned on following
the diagnostic check.
The system has been designed and tested to withstand a 75 mph
(120 km/h) 50% off-set rear impact by Taurus-sized vehicle. However, in
some crashes, including very high-energy crashes, the fire suppression
system could be so damaged by the crash forces that it cannot deploy.
Like any vehicle component, the fire suppression system cannot
withstand any and all crashes. No vehicle can eliminate the risk of fires.
You should not consider the vehicle “fireproof” because it is equipped
with a fire suppression system.
Ballistic door panels (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with ballistic door panels on one or both
of the front doors. Doors equipped with a ballistic panel are marked with
a sticker on the interior door trim panel above the door handle indicating
“BALLISTIC PANEL”. Otherwise, doors with ballistic panels are visually
indistinguishable from standard doors. The ballistic panels are designed
to act as a shield for the officer at the scene of an altercation.
The door panels meet National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level III
protection requirements. NIJ is the research, development, and
evaluation agency within the U. S. Department of Justice. The panels
have been tested and certified by a NIJ approved ballistic testing
laboratory, in accordance with the methodology included in NIJ Standard
0108.01 and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Standard MTD
05-01E.
